Please could you Translate this quote from Gandalf to Pippin
‘Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it’

Oh I see. I can speak Portuguese too, so there’s no problem if you wanna submit a sentence in Portuguese (or the other 5 languages I speak). As long as there’s no slangs or neologisms, I’ll fare quite alright!

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us”
It is already translated, but the image with the actual tengwar is cut. Most of them, actually. How can I see them properly? Like the quote on Saruman :)) I really want to get it tattooed =)

So, there’s no possible way you get what you want preferably well before January ends.

“… in real life, things do not always happen as fast as we wish. Accept the fact that time moves at the speed of time and not at the speed of your expectations. That is patience.” – Awake, December 2012

Having that beautiful quote in mind, in due time your sentence will be gladly translated here. Stay tuned!

My favorite quote in the Lord of the Rings said by Gandalf is: “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”
Would that be able to be done in Quenyan and written in Tengwar?

Could you please translate a few quotes from Mahatma Gandhi? Thank you kindly for your time.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
In a gentle way, you can shake the world.
Wherever you are, you will always be in my heart.
True beauty lies in purity of the heart.
Love is the strongest force the world possesses.

Ok, but I need something from you before I do it. How can I know 100% sure that those are Gandhi’s quotes? Is there any trustworthy site I can check? When and why did he speak any of those sentences? I need to know all that before writing them down here on this section. Can you help me to help you?

Even though these quotes are widely attributed to Mohandas Gandhi, and billions of inspirational posters and such have been printed with such, I never really thought of locating exactly where and when they were said. All of these have been attributed (some it seems incorrectly) to his personal philosophies on many topics from life, religion, to politics.

The second quote, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever” is a variant on aphorism, “Study as if you were to live forever. Live as if you were to die tomorrow” pre-dating Gandhi, variously attributed to Isidore of Seville (c. 560 – 636), in FPA Book of Quotations (1952) by Franklin Pierce Adams, or to Edmund Rich (1175 – 1240) in American Journal of Education (1877). A similar quote was told in a [hadith], by [Muhammad]. He said: ” Live for your afterlife as if you will die tomorrow, and live for this life as if you will live forever”. The 1995 book “The good boatman: a portrait of Gandhi,” states that Gandhi subscribed “to the view that a man should live thinking he might die tomorrow but learn as if he would live forever.”

I’ve had no luck correctly citing, “In a gentle way….”

The fourth was actually a quote in the movie, “Gandhi”, and not directly linked to Gandhi, the real person.

The fifth it seems is another paraphrase. The exact quote is, “True beauty after all consists in purity of heart. It is from Gandhi’s autobiography, p. 228.

The final quote is from the book, “All Men Are Brothers.” These selections are from Gandhi’s speeches and writings and give the reader some idea of the working of his mind, the growth of his thoughts, and the practical techniques which he adopted. The complete quote is: “Love is the strongest force the world possesses and yet it is the humblest imaginable.”

Thank you for making me delve deeper as it was an intriguing web to unravel. I realize that not all of these can be translated and uploaded onto the “G” page. However, I would still, very much, like the original quotes translated regardless.

Wow! Thank YOU for your research! Really good! That helps me too to pay more attention to what he said. Good thoughts he truly had. There are some sentences that you asked, already translated! Check the M page. (under Mahatma Gandhi entry) They are there! http://quenya101.com/poem-prose/m/.
